I had never out in laminate floors before, after getting this recomended from my local store i couldnt be happier. Install was relatively easy. Yes, you must take some care when clicking the planks together but it's not that serious. I have now had the floor for 2 years and not a single scratch, even with my medium sized dog running back and forth over it. It also is the main entrance so there is still no sign of wear!! Bottom line, don't listen to all the complaints!! Best bang for your buck, otherwise i would have complained trust me.

We installed this product in a barn loft. It was very cheaply price. It installed very easy and seem like it will be a good floor for an area that isn't that prominent. The finish is kind of plasticy feeling and the floor itself does not have much variation so it really looks like a laminate. Nevertheless, for the price seem like a good purchase.

This floor looks nice but warps really easily! We put this throughout our kitchen, dining room, living room, and bathrooms. We haven't even moved in yet and there are spots that have warped because of small amounts of water.

The flooring quality is not as high as others, [...]the "click" was difficult to achieve and takes effort.The floor itself, once installed, looks nice. The finish is a little dull, but a beautiful color all in all.I would not recommend this product to a beginner or if this is your first laminate flooring product you are installing. Other than the difficult install [...], it is a nice product. We placed nearly 700 sq ft.I would recommend the underlayment products that were sold. They are really high quality, much better than other products we had used for underlayment.

Service and delivery comments:

Worked with the Carrollton, TX store. We received great service, the store had helpful staff, and considerate loaders.

I read some reviews about these products chipping during install.My wife and I were both beginners and found this product to be easy to install andrather durable as long as you respect it. Inspect your pieces fordamage before snapping in and make best useof scraps. In the 600 sq ft we laid down there was a max ofmaybe 4 planks that had minor scratches or tongueand groove issues. Highly recommended

Wife and I installed in our finished basement and could not be happier. Easy to install, looks great, and we are very pleased. Heard it was difficult to install but was not the case. Using table saw, chop saw, and a jig saw, we had a pretty easy time of it.

Installed this product in 525 sf basement remodel and couldn't be happier. Installed by myself and my wife. We have done laminate floors before and this product was superior to all of them. Used table saw, chop saw and jig saw and the materiel cut and fit perfectly. No gaps or seams visible and it looks just like a wood floor. We used the premium underlayment for sound deadening and it looks and sounds fabulous.

This is a square edged laminate and it does have a grained texture to it.

Q:

I have wooden floors already. I had them painted. My problem is that I want my floors lighten up, but people tell me that i need to replace my floors, so that means that I have to rip my floors off and put new ones on. My floor is uneven and they squeak when one walks on it. I am confused here because I really want to do this but I need to find out how much will this project cost me.

The flooring is durable enough to hold up to small dogs, but dog pee must be cleaned up right away. If urine is left unattended it could cause possible problems. Many customers use doggie diapers to prevent their dogs from peeing on the floor.

Q:

i do i know how much i need i have a 826 sq ft house and can it go over concete??

Yes, the Dream Home - Charisma 7mm Gansu Bamboo Laminate can go over level, dry, and clean concrete. A 6 mil poly sheeting moisture barrier must be used over the concrete. If your rooms are 826 sq ft total. You will need to add a minimum of 5% for waste so the total square foot of flooring you will need is 868 sq feet,
